In 1998 she became a master student of Dieter Krieg and in 1999 she received a travel grant from the Kunstverein and the Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf, as well as the academy letter from the Düsseldorf Art Academy . In 2001 she received a scholarship from the Herrenhof Edenkoben / Pfalz.

Since 1998 she has been represented by the Düsseldorf gallery Peter Tedden and has exhibited there regularly. In the following years she was represented at important art fairs in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Copenhagen and Düsseldorf. Since autumn 2007 she has been on tour in Asia and has exhibited in Djakarta, Beijing and Singapore. Andrea Bender is a member of the Düsseldorf Artists Association .
